A mathematical formulation of this problem is presented, where an algorithmic approach was developed. The problem can be considered to find the best scheduling service to the wells by the workover rigs, taking into account the minimization of the composition related to the costs of the workover rigs and the total loss of oil suffered by the wells. This problem is similar to the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), which is classified as belonging to the NP-hard class. The goal of this research is to develop an algorithmic approach to solve the SWRP, using the fundamentals of metaheuristics like Memetic Algorithm and GRASP. Instances are generated for the tests to analyze the computational performance of the approaches mentioned above, using data that are close to reality. Thereafter, is performed a comparison of performance and quality of the results obtained by each one of techniques used / O trabalho em quest?o aborda o Problema da Programa??o das Sondas de Produ??o (PPSP) para atender os po?os de um campo de petr?leo. Embora de dif?cil resolu??o, ele ? de extrema import?ncia econ?mica, t?cnica e ambiental. Uma formula??o matem?tica deste problema ? apresentada, assim como desenvolvida uma abordagem algor?tmica. O problema abordado pode ser considerado como o de encontrar o melhor escalonamento de atendimento aos po?os pelas sondas, levando em considera??o a minimiza??o da composi??o dos custos relativos ?s sondas e da perda total da produ??o de petr?leo associada aos po?os que est?o aguardando por atendimento. Tal problema assemelha-se ao Problema de Roteamento de Ve?culos (PRV), que ? classificado como pertencente ? classe de problemas NP-Dif?cil. O objetivo da presente pesquisa ? desenvolver uma abordagem algor?tmica para resolver o PPSP, utilizando os fundamentos de metaheur?sticas como o Algoritmo Mem?tico e o GRASP.

However, as new technologies are put into the market, it also grows the demanding for new products and services that depend on the offered infrastructure, making the problems of planning telecommunications networks, despite the advances in technology, increasingly larger and complex. However, many of these problems can be formulated as models of combinatorial optimization, and the use of heuristic algorithms can help solving these issues in the planning phase. In this project it was developed two pure metaheuristic implementations Genetic algorithm (GA) and Memetic Algorithm (MA) plus a third hybrid implementation Memetic Algorithm with Vocabulary Building (MA+VB) for a problem in telecommunications that is known in the literature as Problem SONET Ring Assignment Problem or SRAP. The SRAP arises during the planning stage of the physical network and it consists in the selection of connections between a number of locations (customers) in order to meet a series of restrictions on the lowest possible cost. This problem is NP-hard, so efficient exact algorithms (in polynomial complexity ) are not known and may, indeed, even exist / As telecomunica??es desempenham um papel fundamental na sociedade contempor?nea. Mas ? medida que novas tecnologias s?o introduzidas ao mercado, cresce tamb?m a demanda por novos produtos e servi?os que dependem da infra-estrutura oferecida, tornando os problemas de planejamento de redes de telecomunica??es, apesar da evolu??o tecnol?gica, cada vez maiores e complexos. No entanto, muitos desses problemas podem ser formulados como modelos de otimiza??o combinat?ria, e o uso de algoritmos heur?sticos podem ajudar a solucionar essas quest?es da fase de planejamento. Neste trabalho, foram desenvolvidas duas implementa??es metaheur?sticas puras Algoritmo Gen?tico (AG) e Algoritmo Mem?tico (AM) al?m de uma terceira implementa??o h?brida Algoritmo Mem?tico com Vocabulary Building (AM+VB) para um problema de telecomunica??es que ? conhecido na literatura por Problema de Atribui??o de Localidades a An?is SONET ou SRAP (do ingl?s, SONET Ring Assignment Problem). O SRAP surge durante a etapa do planejamento f?sico da rede e consiste na determina??o das conex?es entre um conjunto de localidades (clientes), de modo a satisfazer uma s?rie de restri??es ao menor custo poss?vel. Esse problema ? NP-dif?cil e portanto algoritmos exatos eficientes (de complexidade polinomial) n?o s?o conhecidos, podendo, inclusive, nem existir

The aim is to determine the Hamiltonian cycle that results in a final minimum cost, considering the cost of the route added to the cost of an expected penalty paid for each exchange of vehicles on the route. This penalty is due to the return of the car dropped to the base. This paper introduces the general problem and illustrates some examples, also featuring some of its associated variants. An overview of the complexity of this combinatorial problem is also outlined, to justify their classification in the NPhard class. A database of instances for the problem is presented, describing the methodology of its constitution. The presented problem is also the subject of a study based on experimental algorithmic implementation of six metaheuristic solutions, representing adaptations of the best of state-of-the-art heuristic programming. New neighborhoods, construction procedures, search operators, evolutionary agents, cooperation by multi-pheromone are created for this problem. Furtermore, computational experiments and comparative performance tests are conducted on a sample of 60 instances of the created database, aiming to offer a algorithm with an efficient solution for this problem. These results will illustrate the best performance reached by the transgenetic algorithm in all instances of the dataset / O Problema do Caixeiro Alugador (CaRS) ? uma variante ainda n?o descrita na literatura do cl?ssico Problema do Caixeiro Viajante onde o tradicional tour de visitas do caixeiro pode ser decomposto em caminhos cont?guos e que podem ser realizados em diferentes carros alugados. O problema consiste em determinar o ciclo hamiltoniano que resulte em um custo final m?nimo, considerando o custo da rota adicionado ao custo de uma prov?vel penaliza??o paga em cada troca de ve?culos na rota, penaliza??o devida ao retorno do carro descartado at? a sua cidade base. Sem perda para a generalidade do caso, os custos do aluguel do carro podem ser considerados embutidos nos custos da rota do carro. O presente trabalho introduz o problema geral e o exemplifica, caracterizando igualmente algumas variantes associadas. Uma an?lise geral da complexidade desse problema combinat?rio ? descrita, visando justificar sua classifica??o na classe NP-dif?cil. Um banco de inst?ncias para o problema ? apresentado, descrevendo-se a metodologia de sua constitui??o. O problema proposto tamb?m ? objeto de um estudo algor?tmico experimental baseado na aplica??o de seis metaheur?sticas de solu??o, representando adapta??es do melhor do estado da arte em programa??o heur?stica. Novas vizinhan?as, procedimentos construtivos, operadores de busca, agentes evolucion?rios, coopera??o por multiferom?nios, s?o criados para o caso. Experimentos computacionais comparativos e testes de desempenho s?o realizados sobre uma amostra de 60 inst?ncias, visando oferecer um algoritmo de solu??o competitivo para o problema.

Dans cette thèse nous nous sommes intéressés à l’extension du problème job-shop en ajoutant la contrainte du transport des jobs entre les différentes machines. Dans cette étude nous avons retenu l’existence de deux types de robots, les robots de capacité de chargement unitaire (capacité=1 veut dire qu’un robot ne peut transporter qu’un seul job à la fois) et les robots de capacité de chargement non unitaire (capacité>1 veut dire qu’un robot peut transporter plusieurs job à la fois). Nous avons traité cette extension en deux étapes. Ainsi, la première étape est consacrée au problème du job-shop avec plusieurs robots de capacité de chargement unitaire et en seconde étape en ajoutant la capacité de chargement non unitaire aux robots. Pour les deux problèmes étudiés nous avons proposé :• Une modélisation linéaire ;• Une modélisation sous forme de graphe disjonctif ;• Plusieurs heuristiques de construction de solutions ;• Plusieurs recherches locales qui améliorent les solutions obtenues ;• Utilisation des algorithmes génétiques / mémétiques comme schéma global d’optimisation ;• De nouveaux benchmarks, des résultats de test de nos approches sur nos benchmarks et ceux de la littérature et ces résultats sont commentés et comparés à ceux de la littérature. Les résultats obtenus montrent la pertinence de notre modélisation ainsi que sa qualité. / In this thesis we are interested in the extension of the job-shop problem by adding the constraint of transport of jobs between different machines. In this study we used two types of robots, robots with unary loading capacity (capacity =1 means that each robot can carry only one job at a time,) and robots with non unary loading capacities (robot with capacity >1 can carry more than one job at time). Thus, the first step is devoted to the problem of job-shop with several robots with unary loading capacity. In the second step we extend the problem by adding the non-unary loading capacities to the robots. For both problems studied we have proposed :• A linear modeling ;• A Disjunctive graph Model ;• Several constructive heuristics ;• Several local searches methods that improve the obtained solutions ;• Use of genetic / memetic algorithms as a global optimization schema ;• New benchmarks, test results of our approaches on our benchmarks and those present in the literature and these results are commented and compared with those of literature. The results show the relevance of our model and its quality.
